Network security

  1. What or who do you think is the greatest threat to the security of information today? What computer security incidents have been in the news recently?
  2. What policies govern your behavior currently, in school, work, or in other    organizations? Are those policies enforced/followed? Why or why not?

U6

Researching current articles (published in the past twelve months), identify at least two emerging products, two security practices, and one emerging trend in the cybersecurity field. Look specifically for issues with implementation and compliance.

Evaluate – To judge or calculate the quality, importance, amount, or value of something.

Write a 2–3-page paper. Your purpose is to fully evaluate each of the items identified in your research. Contrast the items with others of like type in order to assess their relative importance and impact to the practice and application of cybersecurity efforts overall.

Network Security Project Assignment 2

 Overall Project Scenario

Corporation Techs provides remote and on-site support to small and mid-size businesses. Clients use Corporation Techs’ services to solve problems involving malware removal, to manage data recovery and network issues, and to install hardware and software. Due to recent developments, most technical representatives will begin working from home within the next six months. Because Corporation Techs provides 24/7 support, its systems and communications pathways must be fully operational at all times. In addition, the company has been experiencing unprecedented growth and is preparing to double its client-facing staff. You are a junior network architect who is responsible for helping to plan and design network enhancements to create a more secure internal network, and to ensure secure remote access.

Assume a sport in which two players

  

Assume a sport in which two players (A and B) score points and the winner is a player who has at least 4 points and wins by at least 2 points.
The following diagram shows the structure of the program.
Function point() Prompts the user for the player who wins a point. The function: • Returns “A” if the user enters “A” or “a” to indicate that player A wins. • Returns “B” if the user enters “B” or “b” to indicate that player B wins. • Returns “Q” if the user enters “Q” or “q” to quit the program. • Returns “E” if user enters anything else.
Function game() uses indefinite (while) loop until the game is finished or the user quits. In each iteration of the loop: • Calls function point() to get input from the user. • Increments score of the player A if point() returns “A”. • Increments score of player B if point() returns “B”. • Quits the program if point() returns “Q”. • Prints error message if point() returns “E”. • If the game is over, prints the winner and returns to main(), which terminates the program. • Calls function display() to print the score of the game. Game is over and the winner is a player who has at least 4 points and wins by 2 points.
Write function point() that prompts the user for a player who wins a point and returns “A” if player A wins, “B” if player B wins, and ”Q” if the user quits the game. Write function game() that keeps the score in the game and prints the winner of the game. Write function display() that prints the current score in accordance with tennis rules for a game. Function main() just calls function game().
Function display(scoreA,scoreB) Input are scores (positive integers) of the player A and B. Mapping of the first 3 points to displayed values: 0 point displayed as 0 1 point displayed as 15 2 points displayed as 30 3 points displayed as 40 Deuce means that both players have at least 3 points and same number of points. Deuce is displayed as 40 for both players. After a deuce, the score for the player who has 1 more point is displayed as “Adv” and the score of the other players as “ “ (empty string).
Function main() just calls function game().
Sample printouts:
The program keeps a score and prints winner in a tennis game. Who wins a point, player A or player B? A Score of Player A: 15 Score of Player B: 0
Who wins a point, player A or player B? b Score of Player A: 15 Score of Player B: 15
Who wins a point, player A or player B? C Invalid input. Please enter A, B or Q (to quit).
Score of Player A: 15 Score of Player B: 15
Who wins a point, player A or player B? a Score of Player A: 30 Score of Player B: 15
Who wins a point, player A or player B? q You quit the game.
Deliverables • Write your programs in Python 3. • Make sure your code is properly formatted, structured and commented. • Write a separate program (Python script) for each question or subquestion. Each program has to have a ‘main()’ function from which you should call all other functions (if you have any). • Name program files ‘Question1.py’, ‘Question2.py’, etc. • A program should run the entire code for that particular question by directly executing it. • Submit a single zip file that includes all the question program files together. Name the zip file ‘IU-user-name_assignmentNumber.zip’. For example, if your IU username is ‘rakshah’, your zip file will have name ‘rakshah_assignment5.zip.’ • If you want to provide more instructions for executing your code, put a ‘readme.txt’ file inside of this zip file, where you may provide additional information.
Who wins a point, player A or player B? a Score of Player A: 15 Score of Player B: 0
Who wins a point, player A or player B? A Score of Player A: 30 Score of Player B: 0
Who wins a point, player A or player B? b Score of Player A: 30 Score of Player B: 15
Who wins a point, player A or player B? b Score of Player A: 30 Score of Player B: 30
Who wins a point, player A or player B? a Score of Player A: 40 Score of Player B: 30
Who wins a point, player A or player B? b Score of Player A: 40 Score of Player B: 40
Who wins a point, player A or player B? a Score of Player A: Adv Score of Player B:
Who wins a point, player A or player B? b Score of Player A: 40 Score of Player B: 40
Who wins a point, player A or player B? b Score of Player A: Score of Player B: Adv
Who wins a point, player A or player B? b
Player B wins the game

A Singapore company manufactures

1. A Singapore company manufactures 50-inch and 75-inch rear projection television sets. Each 50-inch set contributes $200 to profits and each 75-inch set contributes $475 to profits. The company has purchase commitments for 500 50-inch sets and 200 75-inch sets for the next month so they want to make at least that many. Although they think they can sell all the 50-inch sets that they could currently make, they do not think they can sell more than 375 75-inch sets. Their factory capacity allows them to make only 975 sets of both sizes total. Formulate as a linear programming problem.

 

2. National Credit Union has $200,000 available to invest in a 12-month commitment. The money can be placed in Treasury notes yielding an 6 % return or municipal bonds yielding an average rate of return of 8 %. Credit union regulations require diversification to the extent that no more 30% of the investment be placed in Treasury notes. Because of defaults in such municipalities as Cleveland and New York, it is decided that at least 20% of the investment be place in bonds. Formulate as a linear programming problem.
